Zojirushi Zutto Micom Electric Dispensing Pot


This is my absolute dream electric hot water kettle. Not only is this an electric hot water dispenser from Zojirushi, but it has a large 74 oz. capacity and it has multiple (perfect) temperature settings of 140, 195, and 208 degrees farenheit with a reboil option at 212 degrees F.

The  Zojirushi Zutto Micom Electric Dispensing Pot also has the standard safety features like a locking top and auto shutoff, but what really settles it for me is the electric tea pot's small small footprint of only 11 1/4" x 8 1/2" x 10" and stylish design.



Pros

  • Large capacity of 7.4 oz (2.2 liters).
  • Three temperature settings for all your tea and coffee brewing and noodle cooking needs.
  • Stylish design with clean lines.
  • Dechlorination and descaling functions.
  • Removable cord and 360 degree swivel base.
  • Keeps water warm at a selected temperature.
  • Easy to read LCD monitor and water level indicator.
  • Good insulation which keeps water warm without using lots of electricity while the outside of the unit remains cool or warm to the touch.
  • Timer function means you'll be able to wake up and come home to tea/coffee ready water.
  • Nonstick (not teflon) interior makes cleaning easy.

Cons

  • None at all, though this is a pricier electric water kettle.

Zojirushi Panorama Window® Micom Electric Dispensing Pot Review

Zojirushi is known throughout Asia for their quality rice cookers, hot water heaters, and general kitchenware. Their elephant logo is unmistakeable and a symbol of quality. The Zojirushi CD-FAC22 Zutto Micom Electric Dispensing Pot model has model numbers CD-LCC30/40/50 and has respective capacities of 101 oz./3.0 liters, 135 oz./4.0 liters, 169 oz./5.0 liters. This hot water kettle has a large display window for monitoring the water level and features a LCD temperature display.

Dispensing water from the Zojirushi Zutto Micom is also easy with a single touch of a button. This electric kettle has temperature settings of 175°F, 195°F ,and 208°F / Reboils to 212°F. The lower temperatures are perfect for some green teas and herbal teas. The higher temperatures are perfect for brewing strong flavorful cups of black tea and coffee, preparing hot cereals and oatmeals, or quick cooking vegetables and noodles.



Pros

  • Large 3.0 liters - 5.0 liters capacity means never running out of water or having to constantly refill and reheat water.
  • Accurate multiple temperature selection ensures that coffee and teas are never underbrewed or scorched.



Cons

  • Larger capacity means a larger footprint, so this electric water kettle may not fit on small office desks
  • No lower temperatue options, 145 F, which would be necessary for brewing higher grade green and white teas or preparing baby formula.
